Causal variants in animal genomes: approaches to identification, phenotypic impact, and implications for selective breeding.

Abstract excerpt

This review provides a comprehensive analysis of causal variants as the most informative genetic markers in livestock breeding, highlighting their potential to enhance the precision and efficiency of animal selection strategies. It discusses the types and classifications of genetic variants arising in animal genomes, addresses complex issues related to genetic variant terminology, and evaluates their prevalence...
